He's a Trooper!!

Quinton was quite a trooper over Christmas vacation. Dan, Quinton and myself made the ten hour drive to Arkansas to celebrate with the Miller Family. Papa, Nana, Aunt Kelly, Aunt Dana and Uncle Ryan all were waiting for us when we arrived. We are getting the drive down pretty well, driving mostly through the night. We had pretty good weather, great food, lots of relaxing, walking, golfing, kayaking, played lots of games and just enjoyed one another.

Everyone all dressed up for church!

Quinton enthralled in the wrapping paper and festivities!

Our next stop was Lake of the Ozarks, Missouri for a 4 day annual conference called Faithwalkers. Once again Quinton blew our minds with his ability to go with the flow, take naps in his stroller, be passed around to all of his adoring fans, and just be a joyful baby. It was a wonderful conference, great and challenging teachings, wonderful worship and a good time of fellowship with our church. Our church had over 450 people attend the conference. We are excited to see what the Lord does in Des Moines when we all put what we learned into practice. A really encouraging time for everyone.

Quinton was about to pass out in this picture... but still being as sweet as always.

Just hanging out!

We drove through the night back from faithwalkers and got home early in the morning on the 31st. We arrived home to a broken furnace and no electricity upstairs... what a welcome home present. After many days of losing our minds both are fixed and working flawlessly... keeping our fingers crossed! We went to a New Years Eve Black and White party. I enjoy themes when I don't have to go out and buy any new clothes!

Our Family!
